Using a photocopier

The lifespan of a photocopier is directly linked to the number of copies that it makes. Photocopiers should therefore be used with moderation, by limiting waste (spoiled or unnecessary copies) and where possible by contracting out documents to be reproduced in large quantity (forms, training materials) to an external printing or photocopying service.

Selecting a photocopier

4 models are offered:

Small model

• Intended for emergencies, new missions and small MSF offices
• Average number of copies per month: 200
• Approximate life span: 50000 copies

Medium model

• Intended for average MSF offices
• Average number of copies per month: 2000
• Approximate lifespan: 120000 copies

Large model

• Intended for large MSF offices

Printer and scanner functions

• most photocopier models have integrated printer and scanner functions

NOTE

• photocopiers are only supplied in modules (see Guide of Kits, KADM / Administration kits)
• large printer leasing is also an option to be less exposed to the costs associated with the running and the maintenance
